I've just picked up a 2012 RT today and it is fitted with a newish pair of these (200 miles on them!) Previously had Michelin Road 6 on an NT1100 and Contis on an AT....It'll be interesting to see how I get on with them.Metzeller Z8 Interact suited my LC 1200RT, well priced, relatively long life and for me good performance in all weathers so now use them on a Honda NC750X.
